The bridge over Big Run Creek is located between Smyers and Caroline streets in Big Run.

Casadei said the project involved the replacement of the existing structure with a single-span composite steel I-beam bridge.

The project was held up last summer due to the use of foreign steel that the contractor, Russell Standard Corporation, of Bridgeville, Allegheny County, was going to use to construct the temporary bypass bridge.

Instead of a bridge, a temporary bypass road was constructed through the use of culverts that allowed the creek to pass underneath the temporary roadway and bridge construction site.

Work, including sidewalks and curbs as well as paving on the Route 119, will continue on the $1.9 million project, Casadei said, adding that the project is expected to be complete by June 13.

Casadei said since Russell Standard still has to remove the temporary roadway, there will be flagging operations for traffic control.

Motorists are advised to anticipate traffic delays and be prepared to stop. Motorists are also asked to turn on their headlights, slow down and exercise caution when traveling through work zones.
